I found another AWESOME youtuber her channel name is: The Love of the Lord and the 5 bite diet, she has a ton of very informative videos about the 5 Bite Diet! She answers a lot of questions I had. Her Before and After Video is below, make sure you also check out some of her other videos and subscribe to her channel.

I just stocked up on a 6 day supply of Snickers Bars, I asked a friend to get it for me and they were horrified they probably thought I planned to eat myself into diabetic shock (FYI I am not a diabetic)! I'm sure a month from now, when the weight loss is visible, they'll be more open to hearing the why's and the hows but for now, I get to enjoy the inside joke all by my lonesome!

Whilst I know snickers bars are not the healthiest choice per say, I do love them dearly, and since they're an option; I've opted to use them. Snickers bars are also, easy to get just about everywhere and that meets my convenience quotient.

I may switch to protein bars at some point but…I've chosen to do bars for the first 14-21 days because, quite frankly, my life is quite busy and I barely had time to cook before. One of the major factors which made this diet make sense for me; is that I wouldn't have to be in the kitchen cooking up a storm.

I did the HCG Diet and lost about 33lbs in my first 3 weeks, however cooking was time consuming (not that the food wasn't good it was). Also remembering to take my drops was a hassle, so I ended up deciding I would resume again at a later date when I could focus on doing the diet wholeheartedly. The HCG Diet definitely does work, I had no side effects, other than I suffered from a severe case of laziness, hence me not continuing with the HCG Diet.

However, with the 5Bite Diet, you actually consume approximately the same number of calories as you do on the HCG Diet (about 500 calories) but there are no drops to remember or specialized foods to prepare or hunt down in the market or online.

COMING SOON!!! More on why I decided to do the 5BiteDiet, I'll make a new post for it!

I often get lost in whatever I'm doing and I lose track of time. So reminders are very necessary for me. Using my Iphone I created a bunch of alarms which help to keep me on track while doing the 5BiteDiet. I've inserted the image below. Hope you'll find it as useful as it's been for me.

While I'm on the 5Bite Diet, I was looking for a way to keep my bites uniform and after doing some research it seems that a Table Spoon is equivalent to a bite of food.

Hence, I sought out a measuring tool which would measure a table spoon scoop style and here's what I ended up getting. (By the way, 5 Bites of food twice a day is approximately 3.72 oz and approximately 500 Calories)

I useBMR Calculator – You use energy no matter what you're doing, even when sleeping. The BMR Calculator will calculate; the minimum number of calories you burn every day even if you did absolutely nothing and stayed in bed all day.

It's a quick informative read (I read it, in a few hours), it provides some useful background information which can help you to understand the methodology behind what the 5BiteDiet is, how it works and why it may be a good option for you.

In future posts, I will describe how you do the diet and also some tips and tricks I've employed to help me stay on track.

-Apple Cider Vinegar and Lemon Juice in 4oz of Water
-Water
-Vitamins
-Using my Nutribullet, I blended 6 Ice blocks 1 Snickers bar, 2 Scoops of Whey Protein and and one Tablespoon of Irish Sea Moss and 12oz of water

So far the only non bar food I've had any major luck with is sushi! Last week as an epic fail, but also valuable research. From Day 14 Forward I am back on 2 Bars a day. The next time I try hot foot, I will aim to be methodical in my food measurements which I wasn't last week.
